[Intro]
A F#m C#m D A
 
[Verse]
A
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,
D A
Alive as you or me,
 
Tearing through these quarters
B D
In the utmost misery,
A
With a blanket underneath his arm
D
And a coat of solid gold,
A F#m C#m
Searching for the very souls
D A
Whom already have been sold.
 
[Verse]
A
"Arise, arise," he cried so loud,
D A
With a voice without restraint,
 
"Come out, ye gifted kings and queens
Bm7 B7 D
And hear my sad complaint.
A
No martyr is among ye now
D
Whom you can call your own,
A C#m F#m C#m
But go on your way accordingly
D A
And know you're not alone."
 
[Instrumental]
D A B7 D A D A F#m D A
 
[Verse]
A
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,
D A
Alive with fiery breath,
 
And I dreamed I was amongst the ones
B D
Who put him out to death.
A
Oh, I awoke in anger,
D
So alone and terrified,
A C#m F#m C#m
I put my fingers against the glass
D A
And bowed my head and cried.
 
[Outro]
A F#m D E A
